2 SAFETY
2.1 General Safety Information
All personnel involved in installation, set-up, operation maintenance and repair of the machine, must
have read and understood the Operation Manual and in particular the "Safety" section. The user is
recommended to generate company-internal instructions considering the professional qualifications
of the personnel employed in each case, and the receipt of the instruction/Operation Manual or the
participation at introduction/training should be acknowledged in writing in each case.
Safety-conscious Working
The machine must only be operated by trained and authorized personnel.
The scopes of competence for the different activities in the scope of operating the machine must be
clearly defined and observed, so that under the aspect of safety no unclear questions of competence
occur. This applies in particular to activities on the electric equipment, which must only be performed
by special experts.
For all activities concerning installation, set-up, start-up, operation, modifications of conditions and
methods of operation, maintenance, inspection and repair, the switch-off procedures that may be
provided in the Operation Manual must be observed.
Safety Information for the User and/or Operating Personnel
No working methods are permitted that affect the safety of the machine.
The operator must also ensure that no unauthorized persons work with the machine (e.g. by
activating equipment without authorization).
It is the duty of the operator, to check the machine before start of work for externally visible
damage and defects, and to immediately report changes that appear (including behavior during
operation) that affect the safety.
The user must provide that the machine is only operated in perfect condition.
The user must guarantee the cleanness and accessibility at and around the machine by
corresponding instructions and controls.
Principally, no safety components may be removed or disabled (already here we emphasize the
imminent dangers, for example severe burns, loss of eye-sight). If the removal of safety
components is required during repair and service, the replacement of the safety components
must be performed immediately after completion of the service and repair activities.
BA 8010_3.0_EN (10/2016) 13 / 68
Preparation, retooling, change of work piece, maintenance and repair activities must only
performed with equipment switched off, by trained personnel.
It is forbidden to perform unauthorized modifications and changes to the machine. It is
emphasized, that any unauthorized modifications to the machine are not permitted for safety
reasons.
2.2 Laser Safety Information
To assess the potential dangers laser systems pose, they are classified into 5
safety classes: 1, 2, 3a, 3b and 4. Speedy 100 is a device of class 2 (USA:
Class II). This is guaranteed by the protective housing and the safety
installations.
Please note that improper operation of the device can override the status of
safety class 2 and can cause the emission of harmful radiation.
This laser engraving system contains a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser of class 4
that emits intensive and invisible laser radiation. Without safety precautions
the direct radiation or even diffuse reflected radiation is dangerous!
Without safety precautions, the following risks exist with exposure to laser
radiation:
Eyes: Burns to the cornea
Skin: Burns
Clothing: Danger of fire
Never try to modify or disassemble the laser and do not try to start up a
system that had been modified or disassembled!
Dangerous radiation exposure can result from the use of operation or
adjustment equipment other than that described here, and if different
operational methods are performed.
Service technicians defeating the interlock safety circuit are required to wear
standard laser safety glasses for CO2 lasers (wavelength 10.6 µm).
BA 8010_3.0_EN (10/2016) 14 / 68
2.3 Safety Precautions when Operating the Device
In your Speedy 100, a closed safety system is integrated which immediately switches off
the power to the laser tube when the protection cover is opened. Consequently an
incomplete engraving can occur if the cover is opened during operation. Therefore, first
press the "PAUSE" button, if you want to interrupt an engraving process.
Please remember the following safety precautions when working with this device:
A fire extinguisher must always be handy as the laser beam can ignite flammable materials.
Do not store any flammable materials in the inside of the device or in the immediate vicinity
of the device. Particularly leftovers of produced materials have to be removed to prevent fire
hazard.
Unsupervised operation of the system is not permitted.
Because of their low absorption many metals, in particular un-coated aluminum, copper,
silver and gold cannot be processed with the laser and lead to high reflections of the laser
beam. Such materials must not be inserted into the beam, as a directed reflection could
destroy the protection cover.
Adjustment of the beam path must be performed only by especially trained personnel. An
improper setting can lead to uncontrolled emission of the laser radiation.
Before processing materials the user must verify, whether harmful materials can be
generated and whether the filter equipment of the exhaust system is suitable for the
harmful materials. We emphasize that it is the responsibility of the user, to consider the
national and regional threshold values for dust, fogs and gases when selecting the filters
and the exhaust system. (The values for the maximum workplace concentration must not
be exceeded.)
Please refer to the manual of the exhaust system on how and in what intervals you need to
replace filters.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) must under no circumstances be processed with the laser.
Should you have further questions before starting work, please contact your dealer or
Trotec.

2.4 Warning and Information Labels
The warning and information labels are attached in such positions of the
device that could represent a source of danger during set-up and operation.
Therefore, follow the information on the labels. If labels are lost or damaged,
they must be replaced immediately.
